Dr. Parker received the A.B. in Mathematics cum laude from Princeton in 1974. He completed his M.S. and Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana in 1976 and 1978, respectively. Following a period of postdoctoral research at the Universite de Grenoble in France he joined the Faculty of the UCLA Computer Science Department in 1979. His current interests center around data mining in general, and biological databases in particular.

Dr. Parker is currently an investigator in the UCLA Center for Computational Biology (an NIH NCBC center directed by Arthur Toga), the UCLA Center for Cognitive Phenomics (an NIH project directed by Bob Bilder), and works with Chris Lee on bioinformatics databases.
